Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get the rox in the box
Get the water right down to your socks
This bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bones
[Verse 2]
We all do what we can
We endure our fellow man
And we sing our songs
To the headframe's creaks and moans
[Verse 3]
And it's one, two, three
On the wrong side of the lee
What were you meant for?
What were you meant for?
And it's seven, eight, nine
You get your shovel back in line
And if you ever make it to ten
You won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten
You won't make it again
[Verse 4]
And you won't make a dime
On this gray Granite Mountain mine
Of dirt you're made and to dirt, you will return
[Verse 5]
So while we're living here
Let's get this little one thing clear
There's plenty of men to die
You don't jump your turn
[Verse 6]
And it's one, two, three
On the wrong side of the lee
What were you meant for?
What were you meant for?
And it's seven, eight, nine
You get your shovel back in line
And if you ever make it to ten
You won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten
You won't make it again
[Verse 7]
And it's one, two, three
On the wrong side of the lee
What were you meant for?
Whatever you're meant for
And it's seven, eight, nine
You get your shovel back in line
And if you ever make it to ten
You won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten
You won't make it again
And if you ever make it to ten
You won't make it again
